Vultures gather to eat the carcass of a dog (not pictured) at Bica beach, on the banks of the Guanabara Bay, with the Sugar Loaf mountain in background, 500 days ahead the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro March 24, 2015. As part of its Olympic bid, Rio promised to clean up 80 percent of the bay for the games. But local government officials have already admitted that a cleanup by 2016 is not achievable. Despite millions of dollars of investment over the years, the bay still stinks of sewage. Sailors who visited the city for test events complained of a floating sofa and a dead dog in the water.

Small boats sit on the shore of Guanabara Bay near the suburb of Sao Goncalo, across the bay from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Monday, March 23, 2015. Authorities promised in Rio's winning bid to drastically clean up the pollution in Guanabara bay, cutting it by 80 percent. But with 500 days left before the games, experts say efforts have had little impact on the garbage and sewage pollution of the waters where sailing, swimming and other aquatic events will take place.
